Global Collapse

Chapter 203 The Bizarre Train Escape
Although this game is called a global game, the servers may expand to the entire universe in the future.

The fat man thought to himself, "What if the servers in the future are for the entire universe..."

Gu Mian's voice came through: "Don't worry, you probably won't live to see that day."

Fatty: "..."

At this moment, Chu Changge was still staring at the announcement when Gu Mian heard him suddenly speak: "Is this 'dungeon reviewer' a reviewer who never shows up?"

They are reviewers who never show their faces, but only send emails to provide feedback after the copy is completed;
Or was it a reviewer who appeared to give their evaluation immediately after the dungeon was completed, before the player left?

"Why don't we try entering a dungeon and see?" Gu Mian said matter-of-factly.

The fat man thought for a moment and said, "I think he definitely can't show up and give his opinion."

As the fat man spoke, he secretly glanced at Gu Mian a few times, seemingly imagining what might happen if he appeared to give his opinion.

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "In short, the dungeon mechanics have changed somewhat after this event, so it's best to be careful next time."

"Hmm," the fat man nodded, "I remember we're going to team up with that guy named Hanshan again next time, right? Speaking of which, I wonder how that injured guy is doing."

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "Once the event is over, things will be much easier. The army has military doctors and sufficient medical facilities. You should worry about me instead of him."

The fat man turned to look at Gu Mian: "Oh right, doctor, it seems you're still being chased by the ghost of the pursuit order. I suspect that the group of people who ambushed us at the event were instigated by that ghost."

But why didn't it go in person? This thought had barely crossed the fat man's mind when he got the answer: it probably thought that if it went in person, it would die very early.

"Besides the ghost chasing me, I also have a huge IOU on me." Gu Mian said, taking out a huge IOU.

He still owes 10,000 game coins to the 'Nine-Headed Baby' on the IOU.

Paying it back will earn you the favor of the Nine-Headed Infant.

If he doesn't return the money, he'll face the wrath of the Nine-Headed Infant at any time. That is to say, this one might suddenly pop up and lash out at him. Gu Mian doesn't know exactly how it will lash out.

Maybe she suddenly rushed out and then started whimpering.
However, it seems that the debt collector has no intention of coming out for the time being.

Gu Mian hadn't had the IOU for very long, so the Nine-Headed Infant probably wasn't in a particular hurry.

"Anyway, I'm an unlucky doctor," Gu Mian said, shaking the IOU in her hand and then putting it back in her white coat. "Everyone should care more about me, and I'll be going into another dungeon soon."

As he spoke, he glanced at his game friends page.

An unread message from Hanshan popped up on the friends page.

He clicked on the message.

[Hanshan]: Let's set a time.

It's clear that this is a very meticulous person; he even remembers to add a period at the end of his messages.

Gu Mian replied to the message using her green-tinted nickname: "You decide."

The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment before sending another message: How about 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow?
Gu Mian indicated that she had no objections.

Immediately afterwards, Hanshan sent another message: Please tell Mr. Fatty that Rose Night is all right now.

Gu Mian glanced at the fat man who was investigating the female ghost: Okay, I'll pass it on.

Gu Mian originally did not plan to stay in this place for too long.

There are too many people here, and it's easy for them to be distracted. Plus, his identity is somewhat special, so it's best not to wander around in crowded places.

However, as long as you don't go out too often, staying for another two days shouldn't be a problem.

The players who gathered here in the past two days have mostly dispersed. In fact, there were fewer players here right after the event ended, because a small number of them died inside.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the 'day after tomorrow' that Hanshan had mentioned.

These past few days, Chu Changge and Fatty have been discussing the hearse.

It seems that the car Gu Mian bought has broken down, and the two are considering whether they can take it to the supermarket for repairs.

Although they can afford a new one now, it's better to try repairing it first.

The two also asked the owner about the person in the room diagonally opposite theirs, but the person who was suspected to be Xie Bi'an had already checked out when the event started, and his whereabouts were now unknown. During this time, the female ghost stood motionless in the living room, as if she had become an emotionless pillar.

This morning, she stood in the middle of the living room as usual.

We need to meet up with Hanshan at the nearby ticket booth at nine o'clock. Chu Changge doesn't plan to go on this dungeon run, and he even persuaded Fatty to join him in being a lazy bum.

Gu Mian had no idea what the two of them had secretly discussed before abandoning him.

"Doctor, we're waiting for you to come back here." The fat man looked at Gu Mian somewhat uneasily, then at the female ghost in the middle of the living room: "By the way, can she enter the dungeon?"

Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible, otherwise Mr. Green wouldn't have gone to such lengths to try and return to the instance through an event.

As Gu Mian pondered this, she glanced at the female ghost standing upright.

She had been standing there for several days, her face hidden by her dirty long hair, and blood would sometimes drip from her body, making the floor very dirty each time.

The fat man didn't dare to scold her, so he could only take the mop and obediently clean the floor.

"Speaking of which," a small pool of blood had formed on the ground, and the fat man was holding a mop, "if she keeps following us, we'll have to find out her name, right?"

“Generally speaking, the logistics staff in dungeons don’t have names,” Gu Mian shrugged. “Of course, this is just my guess. Anyway, she won’t tell you if you ask her. Just give her any name you like.”

The fat man nodded: "That makes sense. By the way, doctor, have you ever read any supernatural novels before?"

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "I've seen some."

Upon hearing this, the fat man continued, "I remember in supernatural novels, the female ghosts who stay by the male protagonist's side are usually quite good-looking."

As he spoke, he looked at the female ghost standing in the middle of the living room. Her face was completely covered by her hair, not a single gap was visible, and the fat man did not dare to touch her hair.

"Not just good," Gu Mian recalled her limited collection of novels: "She's absolutely gorgeous, with a figure that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face in shame."

The fat man held onto the descriptions Gu Mian had given him, eagerly anticipating what the female ghost would look like.

So when Gu Mian reached out and lifted her bangs, the huge contrast almost made the fat man suffocate.

How would you describe this face?

As the saying goes, if you walk the dark road too often, you're bound to run into a scoundrel.

But if you have this face, you won't have to worry about encountering thugs at all.

Even if you are followed by thugs while walking at night, as long as you turn around with this face on, the thugs will be scared out of their wits and run away.

This face is terrifying, not in a horrifying way, but in a terrifyingly ugly way.

Gu Mian silently lowered her bangs and, under the fat man's horrified gaze, spoke: "Fortunately, her features are still fairly regular..."

Nine o'clock was fast approaching. Gu Mian didn't dwell on the ghost's appearance and simply picked up the chainsaw to head out: "I'm leaving now. I hope you can come up with a name for her before I get back."

Gu Mian walks at a fast pace.

Not long after leaving the house, we arrived at the agreed-upon ticket booth.

From a great distance, he saw Hanshan and Guigu waiting there. It was just the two of them; it seemed that Hanshan hadn't told anyone else about his identity.

Perhaps because the event had just ended, there weren't many people at the ticket booth.

The group didn't exchange many words before stepping inside.

Under the ticket seller's somewhat desperate gaze, Han Shan took a group ticket and then turned around: "Let's go in."

This is the first dungeon Gu Mian has run since the dungeon mechanics were changed.

The content of this instance was quite unexpected.

[Matchmaking successful, currently matching teammates...]

[Square match successfully completed]

[Instance: The Bizarre Train Escape]

Looking at the name of the instance, Gu Mian fell into deep thought; the name was indeed quite strange.
